Should I buy new tire tubes?
I'm ready to put the new trailer tires on my front wheels... The wheels are in great shape, although rusty on the inside, with a fairly thick "scale" that came off with some wire brushing. I used wood clamps to break the beads (and a little tapping with a sledge, but not much.)
My question is - should I replace the tubes? They both hold air OK, but they also both have rust scale stuck to them, and I'm hesitant to "pick" it off, it's stuck pretty good... Seems like it would wear through them after a while?!
My guess is that it's one of those "while you're in there" kind of things!

Since tubes are reasonable, I'd save the hassle and change them now.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Allenlook, you said you didn't have time to fix up your new toy, I thought you were lookin to find someone to do all this fun for you. You have it now
You might want to spend a little more time on the wheels now instead of later. I know you will have everything else in "it" (..Still no name ) done correctly.
Go with tubes.

Time, time...
Well, it's takin' more time than I got, but at least it's therapy. I'm saving a ton on psychologist bills :D:D
I named "it" on day two, "Jay", to go along with the J on the serial plate... I just wanted to be cool like the rest of the guys who had names for their tractors :D:D It's in my signature line, but maybe it's not self-evident.

When I bought new trailer tires for the front a year or so ago, and the tire shop guy pulled out the old tubes, they looked pretty awful (rust, patches, etc.). He asked if I wanted to go tubeless; I said sure. I've had no problems since.

Tubeless...
Can I do that? What about on the rears? It'll be another weeks long ordering experience otherwise

allenlook,
Ther is a saying that has to be almost as old as man.
YOU CAN PAY ME NOW OR YOU CAN PAY TWICE AS MUCH LATER!
New tubes are worth the wait do it now and you won't look back and say
%&*#@$%& wish I put in the new tubes.
If it's been broken I did it.
If its not broken wait till I touch it.

Allen:
I have run my extra two sets of front tire rims through the electolysis tank, washed them then cleaned em up with a twisted wire cup brush. Even though they are CLEAN and down to bare metal, there is no way they are going to allow a tire to seal well enough to go tubeless.
Do yourself a favour. BUY the new tubes. For what little the tubes will cost you, it is well worth the price to save a lot of aggravation, frustration and some very BLUE air

Slime...
Have you ever used Slime or Fix-a-flat instead of patching a tire?
With these low-speed tires I'm not so worried about flat tires, but I ordered 4 new tubes from Miller Tire today just in case.
